Now I could base my first manpage on the GNU hello project. I hope that localization also works. I aim to localize my program. I understand that I change the print function in main and that will appear in the manpage after build.
On OpenBSD I had to manually set 2 environment variables: Automake and autonconf versions. Maybe a script could set those for the build. Could you specify which error my 2.7 build had? Is there a big difference between 2.10 and 2.7? I based my project on 2.7 and it seems to work but there are many function and still uses the hello word in some places.
